Advice for Executors and Solicitors

If you are an Executor and/or are administering a Will that includes a gift to St Mary’s Hospice, we understand that this can be a difficult and stressful process and we wish to offer as much practical support as we are able.

We have included some useful information below.

Please contact fundraising@stmaryshospice.org.uk or telephone 01229 580305 for any advice or assistance.

Paying a Gift

All gifts in wills are managed by our Legacies Fundraiser who is based in the Fundraising team at the hospice. The Legacies Officer and our Finance team are the only people authorised to give a proper receipt and discharge to executors.

You can send a cheque payable to ‘The Hospice of St Mary of Furness’ to:
